Definitions
- a network device or a multiplicity of network devices such as a wired or wireless network switch and one or a constellation of access point devices and other devices and/or subsystems that may be directly or indirectly connected or coupled with the network switch
- a network spans the world particularly where headquarters staff, management systems, and network administrators responsible for initial network configuration, network configuration modification, and/or network expansion are located in a different time zone, speak a different language, or are separated from local network administrators by a wide area network (WAN), such as the Internet.
- WAN wide area network
- While configuring a network device is not an extraordinarily difficult task for a trained network administrator, it may require some understanding of network device characteristics, network configuration, and/or network software, and often an ability to diagnose and trouble-shoot non-functioning devices or the network, such e.g., when there are two network devices that for initially unknown reasons appear to have the same or conflicting IP addresses.
- a network administrator may consult with a somewhat technically untrained lay person, such as a worker on the floor of a factory or warehouse, an office administrator, or other non-technical person, to configure network devices by talking over the telephone perhaps with the help of a computer link, however doing so for more than a few devices or indeed for dozens or hundreds of devices would be so administratively time consuming and costly that it becomes impractical.
- a somewhat technically untrained lay person such as a worker on the floor of a factory or warehouse, an office administrator, or other non-technical person
- Another attempted solution has been to pre-configure network devices at a site where network administrators are resident before reshipping the network devices to a remote location where they will operate. This may sometimes be referred to a staging or partially staging the devices or network.

- Network devices may be of any type, such as wired or wireless network switches, network access points or mobility points, routers, and/or other network devices, subsystems, or the like that require or benefit from being automatically configured with a network device or subsystem configuration, but to avoid the repeated listing or enumeration of each possible network device of subsystem type throughout the description, embodiments of inventive aspects are primarily described relative to wireless network devices or switches.
- the network device comprises an auto-configuring or self-configuring wireless network switch such as a wide area network (WAN) or local area network (LAN) switch.
- WAN wide area network
- LAN local area network
- a network device such as a wireless network switch
- a network connection such as for example for an Ethernet cable to a plug-in connector (such as to an RJ-45 port connector) on the case or housing of the device, press a button while switching on or otherwise applying electrical power or initiating operation of the device, and as a result of these actions cause the device to send a message to a predetermined network server over the Ethernet network and in return receive a full and complete configuration information or data set (or a supplemental data set to augment what is present) to place the network device in operation on the network and not requiring any further interaction with the network or a network administrator.
- a network device such as a wireless network switch
- This methodology may be repeated for any number of such network devices and may even, for example, be repeated for hundreds of network devices and geographically diverse installation sites each being distant from the central or headquarters management side server. More than one server, though not required, may also optionally be incorporated into the system operation and/or configuration either for purposes of redundancy or capacity. Although a server is or may be described here as being the configuration server, it will be appreciated that the configuration information serving functionality may be provided by a dedicated configuration server or my a server that provides for various other content, data, and information serving functionality, as well as the configuration information serving.
- FIG. 1 is an example of a system showing elements of the headquarters or management side system including a management side server having network configuration functionality and an exemplary network device. While the network device may be any applicable type of network device or subsystem, here the network device is shown as remote wireless network switch on an 802.11 network.
- a network management system 104 which includes a management server 106 having a device configuration server functionality, may be coupled for communication over a network, such as the Internet 120 , to a network device 108 , here shown as a first remote wireless network device 1 .
- a network management system 104 which includes a management server 106 having a device configuration server functionality, may be coupled for communication over a network, such as the Internet 120 , to a network device 108 , here shown as a first remote wireless network device 1 .
- Systems, servers, and other devices can be referred to as engines.
- an engine includes a processor and, typically, firmware or software modules that are executed by the processor.
- an engine can be centralized or its functionality distributed.
- An engine can include special purpose hardware, firmware, or software embodied in a computer-readable medium for execution by the processor.
- a computer-readable medium is intended to include all mediums that are statutory (e.g., in the United States, under 35 U.S.C. 101), and to specifically exclude all mediums that are non-statutory in nature to the extent that the exclusion is necessary for a claim that includes the computer-readable medium to be valid.
- Known statutory computer-readable mediums include hardware (e.g., registers, random access memory (RAM), non-volatile (NV) storage, to name a few), but may or may not be limited to hardware.
- Hardware computer-readable mediums may be referred to as ātangible computer-readable mediums.ā
- ācomputer-readable storage mediumsā are mediums capable of storing data in a non-ephemeral fashion, which includes both volatile and non-volatile storage.
- a network will include a plurality of network devices 1 , 2 , . . . , N and that a single network device is shown here to simplify the description. It will also be appreciated that when there are a plurality of network devices, the network devices may be of different types or have different software versions or characteristics or functional requirements and may require different configuration information.
- the remote wireless network device 108 is a wireless network switch.
- Network switch 108 may as shown here be coupled to one or a plurality of access points 132 which may themselves couple to one or more devices 134 , 136 such as for example notebook computers, personal data assistants (PDAs), printers, or any other network device.
- the management server may be but is not limited to a RingmasterĀ® Server made by Trapeze Networks of Pleasanton, Calif.
- Remote wireless network device 108 may include storage 110 for a remote device identifier, which storage may store one or more parameters that may uniquely, or even locally with the network, identify the physical or hardware device within the system 102 .
- Remote wireless network device 108 also includes logic or processor 112 and program information for booting the network device 108 either with a new configuration information or when desired or required maintaining persistently the configuration that is already been stored in the network device 108 .
- the processor will include a coupled internal or external RAM memory.
- a configuration information persistent or non-volatile storage 126 is provided for storing configuration information. Persistent storage for program instructions and/or other parameters, including for example a network configuration information source identifier from which the network device will obtain its configuration.
- Persistent storage for program instructions and/or other parameters, including for example a network configuration information source identifier from which the network device will obtain its configuration.
- the network device has not previously stored network configuration information than it may be required that the network device 108 the loaded with new configuration information before the device is able
- configuration information in the network device that was previously loaded is maintained when the network device 108 boots or is reset.
- the boot or mode state 114 provides storage and an indicator so that at the time the network device boots a query may be made of this state so that the appropriate decision to request new configuration information or to maintain persistently the old configuration information may be known.
- the state may be stored in a memory or may be indicated directly by other physical property such as the state (for example, open or closed, or high or low impedance, high or low voltage, or the like) of a switch, line, or other physical element.
- the network device is programmed to take or execute different paths and execute different boot sequences depending upon the state of the boot mode state 114 stored. In at least one embodiment, the network device is capable of autonomous operation.
- the invention is not limited to any particular configuration information item or set of configuration information.
- the configuration information can be referred to as a configuration data set, and this is understood to possibly be a single data item or a plurality of data items.
- Configuration information or data sets may be complete such as may be needed in an unconfigured network device or partial or supplemental such as may be need in an incompletely configured network device or where although complete, the configuration information in a network device needs to be changed or updated.
- the request can include, by way of example but not limitation, a device Internet protocol (IP) address, a device class, a device site, a device location, a network mask (netmask), a network identifier, a device type to be configured, a software version identifier, a firmware version identifier, a data of manufacture, a DHCP source indicator, a pre-configuration fixed address indicator, a serial identifier (SID), and any combination of these.
- IP Internet protocol
- network mask network mask
- SID serial identifier
- the software, firmware, or device hardware version tells what server what the device is capable of or can do, so that version based configuration information may be provided and is primarily (but not exclusively) of benefit for policy based configuration, as different versions may have different or advanced features not available or operable in other versions.
- the device identifier such as the device serial number may provide unambiguous information as to any one or combination of hardware, software, and firmware characteristics of the network device.
- different information or data can be provided in any particular configuration information or configuration data set that is requested by and subsequently sent to a network device.
- the configuration information or data set should be sufficient to permit a client device or user to be able to connect with or otherwise access the network in the manner intended.
- the access to the network is to be via a wireless connection and the network device is a wireless switch
- the client device such as a notebook computer or other information appliance will access the network wirelessly via a wireless access point device
- the wireless access point device will be coupled with the network switch either via a wired or wireless connection or communications link.
- configuration information concerning the access point radio-frequency or other radios should be provided as well as configuration information as to the identities of persons, users, user IDs, machine IDs, or other entities that should be allowed to or disallowed from connecting to the network via the network device (such as through the access point and switch).
- the configuration information sent to a network switch can include configuration information for the access point or access points that communicate with the network through the switch.
- the configuration information or data set defines how to configure these access point devices.
- the configuration information or data set defines how to verify a user or client device.
- the configuration information or data set may define relationships of a one network device (e.g., a first switch) to another network device (e.g., a second switch) or to a plurality of switches to each other.
- Relationships may for example, take into account mobility domains where a mobility domain is a collection of switches that know about each other and about each others sessions. Mobility domains may be provided for the purpose of permitting hand-offs during roaming or physical movement of the device or other devices coupled with the network device such as client machines possibly including computers, PDAs, and the like. Relationships are valuable so that they permit relationships and hand-offs if moving around from place to place. In this way the system and network can also provide virtual LANs with the user and client device staying on the same VLAN even though roaming through an area.
- the access point and switch are configured to permit all client devices that can find the network or SSID to connect to it.
- access points will broadcast their network identifier and/or SSID. Therefore in a situation where the owner, operator, or other network administrator entrusted with controlling access to the particular network had chosen to permit all users that wanted or requested access to the network, such as to a default LAN or virtual LAN (VLAN), to be able to access the network, then the configuration information may advantageously specify that any user of user's machine may connect to and have access over the network via that access point and switch.
- VLAN virtual LAN
- the network administrator may choose to restrict access to the network.
- the configuration information or data set sent to the device will specify the identities of potential client devices that are permitted access.
- configuration information about, by way of example but not limitation, what client devices or users of client devices can be validated to the network, what wireless protocols are enabled, any authentication information, a new fixed IP address if the IP address that had been used had been established by a DHCP or other entity, and/or any other information, parameters, or data that it is useful or advantageous for the network device or other devices coupled with it to have for purpose of the intended operation.
- sufficient configuration information needs to be present on the network device to permit getting clients (such as for example wireless clients) onto the network or SSID that they belong on (and not on other networks or SSIDs that they don't belong on) with the correct level of security (if any).
- Access points broadcast the networks (in a Microsoft Windows based context) or SSID (in more general wireless networking context) that they support.
- each access point radio can broadcast a single SSID or any number or plurality of SSIDs.
- the access points and/or clients connected to the SSIDs broadcast the SSID and broadcast the attributes of the network (such as dot1X, key authentication, and the like or other attributes).
- the attributes broadcast by the client device need to match or at least have common elements with the attributes of the switch to which the client devices connect to the network and may further need to be able to match these and/or other credentials to determine if the client device should be allowed on that network (SSID).
- the storage and/or matching of the parameters or attributes may be done on a server or locally.
- the configuration information that is sent to the network device may include user or client access attributes or configuration information.
- Configuration information may also specify relationships amongst network devices, such as switches, so that for example a roaming user or client device can maintain proper connection to the network even though the client device is moving from the radio range of one access point and/or switch to another one so that communication hand-off from one to the other may occur seamlessly, while at the same time not permitting hand-off or connection to a network that the user or client device is not entitled to connect to in spite of the device being in good radio frequency range of the access point or switch for that network or SSID.
- network devices such as switches
- the configuration information or data set includes some client or other user identity information.
- the network device may be partially programmed or staged to specify either permitted or prohibited access, even this information or data need not be included within the configuration information that is sent to the requesting network device.
- the examples described herein provide structures and methods for a device to send a request for configuration information and to receive configuration information back from a different device or system, such as from a sever computer via a network, whatever that configuration information may be. It may also be desirable to confirm, update, check for updates, or validate all or only a portion of configuration information or data that was previously stored to the network device.
- the system is not necessarily limited to any particular configuration information or configuration data set, nor to the manner in which the configuration information was generated or stored.
- configuration information request message may request any information and the server's response to the message may be full, partial, or a single configuration update to a stored configuration in the requesting network device.
- the configuration information sent may also be completely controlled by the centralized (or distributed) configuration distribution authority represented in the descriptions here as the management side configuration server.
- FIG. 2 depicts a flowchart of an example of a procedure for a network device requesting and receiving a configuration information or data set from a system management configuration server.
- the procedure begins at step 141 and thereafter the remote network device (for example a network switch) requests configuration information from the management system (step 142 ).
- management system determines the proper or appropriate remote device configuration information and communicates its to the requesting remote device (step 143 ).
- the remote device receives a configuration information for itself and may optionally but advantageously also receive configuration information for any attached devices, such as for example for one or more access points coupled with the remote network switch (step 145 ).
- the remote device and network use the configuration information sent or pushed down to the remote device for further operation on the network (step 145 ), upon which the procedure ends (step 146 ).
- the network information may be either or a combination of a network device hardware information, a network device software information, a network device location information, a network device requester information, any other parameter that identifies a basis for establishing an operable configuration, and/or any combination of these.
- the management system when the requesting network device sends its request message out, upon receipt the management system performs either a configuration data base look up or a configuration information generation based on one or more of the network device identification, network configuration policies, and/or on the basis of any combination of these with possible other factors.
- the management side system may take into account the existing preconfigured policies, rules, preferences, existing configuration, legacy devices and/or any other parameters or characteristics that may or should impact the network device configuration, on the network that the management side or central administration has set up. It will create the right configuration that needs to be sent back to the network device. To the network device, it looks like it received its full configuration.
- the full configuration for a network device that is or includes a network switch may include configuration information as to how to run its access points (APs) or mobility points (MPs), what SSIDs (service set identifiers) to provide, what Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs) to configure, who to allow access to and what that access should be, and any other information that provides the desired operation of the configured device.
- APs access points
- MPs mobility points
- SSIDs service set identifiers
- VLANs Virtual Local Area Networks
- the wireless devices may conform to one of the WI-FI or 802.11 wireless protocols, though a limitation to only to this protocol or to extensions, enhancements, and improvements to this protocol is not necessarily required.
- inventive aspects that are particularly useful when replacing a failed network device, application of the methods and structures of inventive aspects to the rollout or deployment and configuration of new sites having hundreds of network devices to be configured, inventive aspects pertaining to central control and/or policy-based control of network device configuration, inventive aspects pertaining to novel characteristics of the physical hardware switch itself, inventive aspects that are particularly advantageous when scaling the method to large numbers of devices, inventive aspects pertaining to mutual device security authentication and encryption, application of the method not only to configuration of the device but also to the tree or hierarchy of other devices coupled with the configured device, inventive aspects applicable to maintaining a persistent or sticky configuration, inventive aspects pertaining to flexibility in choosing and pushing either a hardware based configuration or a policy-based configuration to the device, and of course application of the automated set-up and configuration procedures to drop-shipped network devices.
- inventive aspects may be combined and used synergistically in various ways.
- a network device fail, such as a network switch. This failure can be particularly problematic at a remote site where no network administrator or IT professional is available.
- a device identifier and/or network policies used to determine the configuration information that is to be sent to or pushed to replacement device.
- a network device vendor or manufacturer pull a box containing the replacement device off of their inventory shelf, and without opening the box or performing any configuration of the device, drop ship a replacement network device using for example an express delivery service, directly from the manufacturer or vendor to the replacement site.
- the manufacturer or vendor may inform the buyer as to the device identifier so that an entry may be made into the configuration information database ready for configuration information retrieval when it receives a request.
- anyone at the replacement site then opens the box, disconnects the Ethernet cable from the failed network device, reconnects the Ethernet cable into the receptacle on the replacement device, plugs in electrical power (if an on-off switch is provided on the device) and at the time the on-off switch is switched from an off state to an on state, holds down the boot mode button on the device so that the replacement network device sends a message to the management side server requesting configuration information.
- implementations may utilize a combination of network device identity and policies to determine one or any set of network device configuration information, and that as with either identity based configuration or policy based configuration, the use of a combination of identity and policy based configuration may be implemented by pre-computing and storing such configuration in a database, computing it in real-time or substantially real time or dynamically determining configuration information upon receipt of a request for such configuration information or data set, or by any combination of pre-stored and real-time or dynamically determined configuration. Dynamically determined information for one device may even be stored and used or partially reused for a similar configuration with any necessary changes being made to customize the configuration information to the new request or requester.
- the replacement network device knows to send its message to a particular server at a particular IP address location because at least in one embodiment, it is programmed at the time of manufacture (or if staged in advance of shipment, when being staged) to connect to a particular notorious DNS Domain Name System (or Service or Server), an Internet service that translates domain names into IP addresses.
- a particular notorious DNS Domain Name System or Service or Server
- finding and ultimately connecting to a source of configuration information may be implemented in a variety of ways.
- a particular name is identified to the network device, and that name is looked up or queried in the context of the local network or other defined network.
- the network device when the network device powers-up and begins to boot or on a reset boot or other initiation phase, and is activated in an autoconfiguration mode, if it does not have an IP address (or optionally, even if it does) it sends a DHCP request to a DHCP server to obtain a first or a new IP address (because it may not have an IP address when it wakes up for the first time), it will also be assigned or otherwise be identified with a default router, and it will be assigned or otherwise identified to a DNS server, and finally according to one embodiment it will receive a domain name from the DHCP server.
- some or all of these may be preconfigured into the network device, such as at the time of manufacture or during some pre-deployment staging phase. This alternative mode may be useful if there is a possibility where their will be no DHCP server available or accessible during the setup, deployment, or roll-out.
- a domain name lookup is performed on the server that has been identified to the network device as the sever to query during the autoconfiguration using a well known or other identified or notorious name appended to or pre-pended to the domain name.
- this well known name is āwlanconfigserver,ā but the choice of name itself is not important. Furthermore, one does not actually have to know the address; it is enough to use the domain name to find the appropriate server.
- DNS is an acronym for Domain Name System (or Service or Server), which is an Internet service that translates domain names into IP addresses. Because the DNS system is actually a network onto itself, if one DNS server doesn't recognize or know a particular domain name, it asks another DNS server, and so on, until the correct IP address is found.
- the requesting network device is instructed to use this name to find the server.
- the network administrator or information technology (IT) group will have added that name with an address into their local DNS database. In this way, only the name is needed and the name can identify the address that locates the server.
- This DNS mechanism may readily be set up form a central or headquarters site and then sent out to various proxy servers if they exist so that this process as well may readily be accomplished remotely from the location of the device installation or deployment.
- the known or notorious name (or other identifier) is programmed or otherwise loaded or stored into the network device before deployment, and an address is obtained during deployment (during the autoconfiguration process) by looking up the address based on the name using a DNS lookup.
- the DNS lookup is performed by the DNS server that was identified or provided by the DHCP server, and the domain name is provided by the DHCP server.
- the manufacturer or vendor may advantageously open the network device shipping box and program the network device to send a message to an IP address or server identified by the entity purchasing the replacement network device.
- the entity needing to replace a failed network device maintains an inventory of spares
- the entity may program a replacement network device so that it knows what IP address to contact to reach the central or other management side server for each of the spares, the entity may then simply pull a spare out of their inventory and ship it in the same manner to the site where it is needed.
- the programming may be done in advance of the need for the replacement, there is no urgency involved, and typically no reason for a network administrator or IT professional to become involved.
- the network administrator may for example, purchase ten switches to use as replacement spares, program each with the server IP address to use with the request, and put them back on the spares shelf until needed. No customization for their ultimate location is required as each will obtain full configuration information upon receiving a response to its request once installed.
- the management side server receives the request message it optionally authenticates the requesting network device (such as an initial authentication using the network device unique hardware ID), and sends the configuration information to the requesting network device. Therefore, it will be appreciated that virtually no expertise is needed to configure the replacement network device.
- the device identifier may not be advantageous to set-up or configure the device based for example on the device serial number, security identifier (SID), or other identifier associated with the physical hardware. Even though this may be possible to do so, it may not be as efficient as other methods for replicating the configuration of the previous failed device. This is a legitimate approach, as well as the approach that may be preferred in a number of network configuration situations.
- SID security identifier
- the replacement device when such failure occurs, it may be preferable that the replacement device be set up exactly the same (or substantially the same when some hardware, firmware, or software version variation requires or benefits from some incremental change to that set up) as a failed device it replaces.
- the configuration of a failed device replacement device may be tied to the physical place or location or alternatively to the policies applied to devices in that location or environment so that it has the proper operation and association with the environment and other devices in that physical place or environment. It will be appreciated, that characteristics of the device itself may also be taking into account by the policies that are applied to the configuration and operation of the device.
- One of the attributes of the network typically associated with a physical place are the subnet addresses and the Internet protocol addresses that are associated with the location and the subnet.
- the replacement device may be configured based on the standard policies (or optionally on customized policies) applied to devices of the same or similar type in that location or environment.
- Different devices such as wireless network switches may receive different configuration information than wireless routers or access points, but it may be the policies that determine within a type or class of device what the configuration should be not the individual device identifier itself.
- Location may for example mean a particular company office location or building, a particular city or other political jurisdiction, a particular operation such as a research laboratory in a research and development complex versus a warehouse facility collocated in the same complex.
- Security features, possibly including network access lists, may also be a form of policy based configuration. Therefore the idea of place or location relative to policies may also be different functional activities at the same location.
- Embodiments of the network device such as a wireless network switch may interoperates with the server, such as the RingMasterTM-based server and network software made by Trapeze Networks of Pleasanton, Calif., or with other servers and/or software to configure the devices and bring up the configured network devices and the network system automatically.
- the server such as the RingMasterTM-based server and network software made by Trapeze Networks of Pleasanton, Calif., or with other servers and/or software to configure the devices and bring up the configured network devices and the network system automatically.
- system, device, and method are provided to permit automatic and touch-free or substantially touch-free configuration of a network device at a location to be configured to operate on the network without the on-site participation or involvement of a technician, information technologist (IT) administrator or other trained professional.
- Touch-free operation means that the installer of the network device only needs to connect the network device to a communication link, such as a wired or wireless Ethernet or other network that can reach a source of configuration.
- This information source may typically be a network server (such as the management side server already described) and the network will be or include the Internet connected to the network device using an Ethernet cable or wireless equivalent.
- the network device Once the network device has been connected to a network that can reach or connect to the configuration information source and power is applied to the network device so that it boots its operating program for operation as its particular type of network device, such as a network switch, the network device is programmed to contact its configuration information source and get its configuration information and then self install on the network without any other assistance or intervention. In another embodiment, someone must press (and optionally hold) a button or switch or other electrical or mechanical means for altering a logic state so that the network device will be instructed to contact the source of configuration information rather than use the already stored configuration information (if any) within the network device memory or logic.
- This aspect is particularly advantageous in situations where for example, a network device at a location remote from a headquarters facility where the IT administrator or other IT technicians are resident has failed and needs to be replaced, or where a large number of network devices need to be rolled out in a new facility and even where an IT administrator or technician may be sent and made available, the travel and on-site time involved and the resulting costs increase the time involved to complete network roll out.
- a network device at a location remote from a headquarters facility where the IT administrator or other IT technicians are resident has failed and needs to be replaced, or where a large number of network devices need to be rolled out in a new facility and even where an IT administrator or technician may be sent and made available, the travel and on-site time involved and the resulting costs increase the time involved to complete network roll out.
- a management side network server may be configured to interoperate with any number of such devices for the purpose of configuring the device(s), and as the method, procedures, and communications involved in configuring a device may typically involve the management side network server and a single network device at a time, implementations are first described relative to a single network device. It will then be appreciated in light of the description provided herein that the system may be extended to include and interoperate with any plurality of devices, including for example systems having only a few devices, to network configurations that have tens, hundreds, or even thousands of devices. Furthermore, the network devices to be configured may be of different physical types, may require different network configurations, and may be at different physical locations, to name only a few of the possible variations.
- the first strategy involving configuration of the network device based on a physical characteristic of the device, such as for example, a device serial number, a device IP address, a secure ID, or any other identifier associated with the physical hardware of the network device.
- This configuration approach is referred to as identity-based configuration or IBC.
- the second strategy involves configuration of the network device based on an applicable network policy or policies, where for example, the policies may be specific to the location where the network device is being installed or replaced. The network policies may also take into account the network device type, and/or other physical or functional aspects of the network device.
- This second configuration based at least in part on network or management policies is referred to as policy based configuration (PBC).
- PBC policy based configuration
- One or a plurality of policies may be utilized in selecting, generating, or otherwise determining the configuration information or data set to be sent to a particular network device (the primary network device) and such policy or policies may also be used to determine the configuration information or data set sent via a particular network (a primary network device) to other devices, possibly including other network devices (secondary devices or secondary network devices), that are connected with or coupled to the network device.
- a access point device is a secondary network device to a network switch which is a primary network device.
- an implementation includes two principal hardware components, a network device 108 that requires configuration information 126 , and the server 104 or other source of configuration information 107 that the network device 108 can contact over a communications link 124 such as the Internet or other network to request 122 configuration information 124 stored (for example based on a device identity) or generated (for example, based on predetermined or dynamically determined policies) at the server so that it can be sent over the communication link to the particular network device 108 making the request.
- a communications link 124 such as the Internet or other network to request 122 configuration information 124 stored (for example based on a device identity) or generated (for example, based on predetermined or dynamically determined policies) at the server so that it can be sent over the communication link to the particular network device 108 making the request.
- FIG. 3 is an illustration showing an embodiment of a wireless network device having a recessed mode selector button exposed on an outer surface of the switch so that a person may either leave the switch in a first position to maintain a persistently stored configuration in the device or to press the button during a power-on, boot, or other reset procedure to cause the device to request a new configuration data or information.
- FIG. 3 an alternative embodiment to the system illustrated in FIG. 1 is shown having additional management system 204 and device 108 detail shown.
- the FIG. 3 embodiment includes structures that may in some instances only operate or be present with the identity-based configuration (IBC) such as the configuration storage database and look-up table, or only with the policy-based configuration (PBC) embodiment such as the configuration and policy-based configuration generator 210 so that either of these may be seen as being optional elements; however in some implementations both are present so that the network administrator has several options and flexibility to choose the option that best suits the network device configuration at the time.
- IBC identity-based configuration
- PBC policy-based configuration
- the system and device may optionally provide for manual configuration of any network device through either the server or through a local interface to the device.
- an embodiment of the inventive method for configuring a device is now described from the perspective of the network device 108 relative to FIG. 4 .
- one of the benefits of the inventive system device and method is ability to connect and configure a network device to the network without the involvement of a skilled or trained IT administrator. It may be desirable to configure a network device with the only requirements to connect the physical network device to the network such as to the Ethernet and to power on the device (step 304 ).
- the procedure reads the internal device configuration boot mode state (step 306 ).
- the boot mode state determines whether the network device 108 already has and stores a configuration information that the device wants to retain and utilize or that the network device 108 has no configuration information or wishes to obtain an updated or new configuration information.
- the boot mode state is a flag, bit, byte, or any other indicator capable all of identifying a first and second states. If the indicator identifies a first state then the device will take actions to request and obtain new configuration information from an external source such as the management system 204 side server 206 . However, if the indicator identified the second state then the device will not request configuration information and will retain the configuration information it already has and stores.
- device side procedure 302 provides that the network device 108 is ready to operate on the network and uses they persistently stored old configuration information for continued operation in the network (step 320 ) and a device side procedure ends (step 330 ).
- the boot mode state indicator When the boot mode state indicator is in the second state indicating that the device needs to obtain initial, updated, or new configuration information and request for configuration from the actual system is sent (step 310 ).
- the request for configuration is sent using a āconfigure meā message to the management systems side server 206 .
- communications between the network device 108 and the management system 204 are conducted using certificate based or other authentication (step 322 ) as well as encryption 312 (at least for sensitive information) for the messages passed between the network device and the management side system.
- authentication step 322
- encryption step 312
- authentication step 322
- encryption step 312
- the configuration information itself as well as the protocols used on the network contain or may contain secret information such as keys and the like that if intercepted and known by others would subject the network to attack and compromise.
- neither authentication nor encryption are required for operation of the inventive system, device, or method and that they are optional features a prudent network architecture and administrator would implement to protect the network.
- the management side server uses a certificate based authentication of the network device to make sure that only network devices that are trusted by the management server based on the certificate authority certificate are allowed in to talk to or otherwise communicate with the management server and more particularly to request the configuration information by sending the āconfigure meā message to the server.
- an encryption based on secure socket layer (SSL) may be used and in this case an authentication based on a username and password scheme may be implemented to make sure the management scheme that is configuring the network device is allowed to do so.
- the network device 108 will then wait for the management systems side server 206 to respond and said the requested configuration information.
- the management systems side server 206 may store the configuration information 208 in the same form or in a somewhat different form they and the form in which it is communicated to network device 108 and that network device 108 may yet and still store the received configuration information and a different form or format band that in which it was received.
- the management system 204 may also or alternatively have and store different configuration information from which the configuration information that is sensed two and Stored by network device 108 is derived.
- inventive device side procedure 302 may submit a new request or query for the information (step 314 ) and continued to monitor receipt of the requested configuration information and/or make new request for the configuration information until that request is satisfied.
- the device side procedure 302 may also optionally but advantageously require authentication (step 324 ) from the server for any configuration information received, and may require decryption when the configuration information and/or accompanying message were encrypted. Encryption, decryption, and certificate authority based authentication procedures are known in the art and are not described in additional detail here.
- the configuration information is stored (step 318 ) into a memory or other storage in the network device 108 . Subsequently, the configuration information may be retrieved and used as required for operation of the network device (step 320 ), and the device side procedure 302 and (step 330 ).
- the corresponding management side procedure 401 is now described relative to FIG. 5 . It'll be understood that prior to the management side system 204 having an ability to serve or otherwise send or communicate the configuration information to the requesting network device, the configuration information must be available on the management systems side server 206 (except that according to an alternative embodiment, the configuration information may be generated on-the-fly or in real-time or substantially in real-time upon receiving the request). Therefore the management side procedure 401 includes the step of preparing and storing a database, which may be a lookup table database, that identifies the configuration information for each physical network device ID (step 401 ).
- the database for example may include or utilize one or plurality of policies that are used to provide or generate an appropriate configuration information for a requesting network device based on the network policies and parameters associated with the requesting network device.
- policies might include, but are not limited to, and location parameter, a device type parameter, a device class parameter, an office or location specific function parameter, or any other parameter or characteristic of the network device, network device site, network device location, or any combination of these parameters, it may be used in conjunction with policy to determine the most appropriate configuration information to retrieve from a storage or to generate on-the-fly for use by a network device.
- the network having either stored network device configuration information prior to receiving request, or having an ability to generate an appropriate network device configuration for a requesting network device is in a position to send, preferably and a push mode to the requesting the network device, configuration information to the network device once a configuration quest has been received (step 403 ). Therefore, the server essentially waits in a loop for configuration request to be received (step 403 ), and when a receives requests to configure a device (step 45 ) it may optionally authenticate the received request (step 407 ) and then determine if the requesting device should be sent a configuration information based on a network device identity ID (step 409 ) or based on a network policy (step 411 ). For either the identity-based configuration (IBC) or the policy-based configuration (PCB) the configuration information to be provided may be either obtained by a database lookup procedure or by a configuration information generation procedure where the generation is performed only upon receipt of the configuration information request.
- IBC identity-based configuration
- PCB policy-based configuration
- Identity-based configuration uses an identifier that is unique to the device to identify an appropriate configuration either from an existing database that has been generated receiving the request for configuration, or to generate an appropriate configuration for the requesting device after the request for configuration information has been received by the server.
- the policy-based configuration primarily relies upon one or more pre-defined or dynamically determined policies that specify how for example different network device types, classes, or other parametrically defined groups of network devices are to be configured in a consistent (or even different) manner when deployed or rolled out at for example, different office locations of a corporation, different functional groups within a corporation or business, or according to any other rule set or policies.
- the unique identifier may be selected as one or any combination of identifiers selected from the set of identifiers consisting of a device serial number, an internet protocol IP address, a Media Access Control (MAC) address, a Service Set Identifier (SSID), and any combination of two or more of these.
- the configuration information is optionally but advantageously encrypted so as to prevent unauthorized interception and access to the configuration information (which may include secret information such as keys, protocols, or the like) by unauthorized parties (step 419 ).
- the management side system server sends the configuration information to requesting device (step 421 ) optionally but advantageously with authentication. Encryption and/or authentication are both particularly advantageous when any of the information may be communicated over an insecure link, for example over the Internet 120 or other unsecure or external communication infrastructure. Neither authentication nor encryption are required, though a prudent network administration would normally choose at least to encrypt and typically to require mutual management side and device side authentication.
- the management side server may optionally wait for an knowledge receipt of the sent configuration information by the requester (step 423 ) and then the management side procedure for one and its (step 430 ).
- a configuration success indication may optionally by advantageously be provided.
- the management side system when the management side system receives the request for configuration from the remote network device, it immediately or within a predetermined period of time, transitions a management state of the remote network device such that a network operator, administrator, or other entity (human or machine) receives an indication of success or failure of the remote network device request.
- the end effect is that the operator will see the site have a first state (e.g., success state) or go āgreenā if the auto-configuration request and respond exchange was successful, or have a second state (e.g., failure state) and go āredā if the request and respond exchange failed.
- a network map may be generated and optionally displayed via a graphical user interface or other graphical, symbolic, or text showing the success or failure status of the network devices.
- the management system also optionally provides a list of failed remote requests and allows the user to diagnose these.
- the management side configurations server may establish a queue so that requests for configuration information are placed into the queue in their order of receipt, and each request is handled serially so that the first configuration information request is placed at the head of the queue and for which configuration information is sent to the requesting network device first, then each request is handled in turn in their order of receipt.
- Other implementations may for example provide for some prioritization so that certain requests determined to have a higher priority are handled out of order relative to their order of receipt. Prioritization based on any number of factors may be implemented.
- the server may be able to identify request for configuration it should receive a higher priority based on such indicators as the device identifier, the Internet protocol address from which the request was received, and/or other factors.
- the status of a configuration information request as a higher prior request could be known to the server without the server needing to decrypt, authenticate, or otherwise open or substantially process the requesting message in order to determine a priority status.
- any secondary network devices that are connected to the requesting network device 108 which is referred to here as the primary network device may themselves receive their own configuration information from the primary network device and the request by any primary network device to the management side server may and in preferred embodiments will include a request for configuration information for any and all secondary network devices coupled with the primary network device.
- the management side server will not only provide configuration information for the network switch but also configuration information for access points (AP) or mobility points (MP) that are coupled or connected to (or maybe coupled or connected to) the primary network device or switch.
- AP access points
- MP mobility points
- This optional implied request for configuration information not only for the primary or requesting network device but also for the other secondary devices coupled with or connected to the primary network device may substantially reduce the number of requests made and the resulting burden on the network server 206 .
- the ability to acquire not only configuration information for the switch but also for access points connected to the switch at the same time means that the process of setting up and configuring an entire network much more efficient and vastly simplify as compared to any manual configuration or even answer a configuration which is performed by a network administrator remotely but in non-real-time or off-line.
- the algorithms and procedures as well the policies on which network configuration information sets are generated may be done at any time prior to their need and do not require participation of either programmers or network administrators at the time or place where the network devices are being deployed or rolled out.
- each network device may ācall homeā or otherwise contact a designated engine system side server 206 and requests its configuration information, and for a typical network receive its configuration information and have actual configuration of the network device and any secondary network devices coupled with or connected to that primary device completed within a matter of a few seconds. Even if a decision is made to completely connect all (for example 100 or more) of the network devices but not to power them on until some predetermined time, each of the network devices that have been configured to requests initial or new configuration information can send a message back to the system server in a secure manner and expect to have its request answered within a few to several minutes.
- the queuing mechanism at the server taking care of any concurrently received requests that are or may be received more closely in time than a response message with configuration information can be retrieved from the database and sent or generated and sent.
- embodiments of the inventive network device 106 may include either or both a two-state button or switch that identifies the device as being in an āenableā or ādisableā request configuration information on network device boot or power-on, and a software settable and resettable state than can represent either an āenableā or ādisableā request configuration on boot or on power-on status for the network device.
- a button is provided in a recess or aperture within the housing or enclosure of the network device.
- the button is advantageously recessed so that it will not inadvertently be pressed during handling of the device during deployment of the device particularly if power is applied to the network device. Any type of button or switch may be used.
- the button may be recessed to such a depth that a small pointed object such as a paper-clip tip or wire is needed to access and alter the state of the button.
- the button need only be pressed momentarily during the power-on or boot-up while in other embodiments, the button should be held for from one to several seconds during the power-on or boot-up for its actuation to have the intended effect.
- the network device maintains its current configuration settings that are persistently maintained or stored non-volatility in the device unless the button 116 is depressed during power-on or boot-up of the device.
- the alternate default, wherein the network device 108 requests new configuration unless the button is pressed may alternatively be implemented in the device, but this default condition in not preferred because it would result in increased and unnecessary burden on the management side server 106 .
- the software or firmware set state may equivalently be used to cause the network device 108 to request configuration information for the device (and for other devices that attach to the network through the primary (requesting) device.
- the boot mode state is set to enable (either at the time the network device is manufactured and loaded with its software/firmware, or in preparation for device deployment or installation) so that when the network device is installed and powered on for the first time it will request configuration.
- the boot mode state is set to disable so that the configuration information that had previously been loaded into the network device will be retained.
- the boot mode state is only changed from enable to disable when configuration information was successfully loaded into the device.
- pressing the recessed button while powered on but not during the boot-up or power-on phase will reset the network device to a predetermined configuration, such as for example a factory default or reset condition.
- a database or look-up table information may be input into the database or look-up table at any time in advance of the time the configuration information is actually needed or requested. Therefore the information may be placed into the database or look-up table in the hours, days, weeks, or months preceding rollout of a system. This placement or storage of information may be done in non-real time so that it does not require the dedicated attention of an IT or network administrator. The determination, placement, and storage of the information or any part of component of the information may also be done by a third party or contractor. Certain information that is sensitive in nature may be added to the database or look-up table by a trusted entity at a later time.
- Certain other conventional systems and methods may at first seem to be able to partially self-configure to a local set by pressing a button on an external surface of a device.
- Such systems typically work by sensing 802.11 standard-compliant wireless signals that are locally present in the environment.
- Devices including wireless access point devices made by the same company as a company that makes a wireless router may under some conditions be able to communicate with the wireless router and based on the mutual communication between the wireless router device and the wireless access point device, determine settings by which the two devices can communicate.
- These system are not able to automatically send messages to a remote server over for example an Ethernet connection, request network configuration for themselves and optionally for other devices connected to them. Neither do such conventional devices or set-up methods provide the other features described herein.
- the entity that is responsible for defining the configuration information may chose the most appropriate configuration information at the time.
- the configuration information may be changed at the server from time to time as required or desired.
- the network devices may themselves be controlled in a manner that new network device configuration information may be pushed or downloaded into the device as changes are required or desired, or the server or other entity may communicate a message or command to direct the network device to request updated, changed, or replacement configuration when they are next booted, or at a particular date and time, or according to other criteria.
- DHCP Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol mechanism
- the management side system configuration server may act to assign a fixed IP address to a requesting network device event when the network device is behaving properly and without problem with its DHCP based IP address. (It is also possible to permit a network device having a fixed IP address to acquire a DHCP IP address, but this scenario is not of particular interest here).
- the network device communicates a request for configuration information to the server and the server receives that request in the manner described elsewhere in this specification.
- the management side system may then examine certain fields, statements, or other data or indicators of or within the request message (or any attachment to the request message) to look at certain fields of the request.
- These fields may for example include any one or combination of: a current IP address that the device is on, and an indicator that identifies whether the device has obtained its current IP address from DHCP or by static IP address configuration.
- the management side system determines that the requesting network device has a static IP address and it wants the network device to continue to have a static IP address, then it may take no action so that static address remains unchanged or it may assign a different static IP address that will be communicated to the network device with its requested configuration information and used subsequently by the network device and the management side (including the management side server) for their communication.
- the management side system determines that the requesting device is using a DHCP address and wants the network device to use a static IP address, it may send (to the DHCP IP address) the desired new static IP address for use by the requesting network device in the configuration information. The new static IP address will thereafter be used for communications between the network device and the management side server or other entities on the network.
- the system and method therefore also include a management side intelligent component that for example permits the management side to recognize that an initial message (or even subsequent message) came to the management side server using a particular DHCP based IP address, sends out new network device configuration information to the requesting device using the then current particular DHCP based IP address, and then updates its records or information so that it will conduct future communications with the network device using the newly assigned static IP address that was included in the configuration information.
- a management side intelligent component that for example permits the management side to recognize that an initial message (or even subsequent message) came to the management side server using a particular DHCP based IP address, sends out new network device configuration information to the requesting device using the then current particular DHCP based IP address, and then updates its records or information so that it will conduct future communications with the network device using the newly assigned static IP address that was included in the configuration information.
- the network device itself (such as for example in a wireless network switch device), when it boots up, has to recognize when to go and request and then get its configuration information and when not to go get it.
- the network device may not want to go and get the configuration again on every boot (although this operation is not precluded) or after every power failure that may occur. While this may not present any issues for either the device itself or the network or server, if every one of perhaps 200 network devices in a facility were to request new configuration information after a momentary power failure on a hot summer day, it would add to the network traffic burden on the network and on the processing and/or other content serving by the server.
- a second position such as by being left in a non-pressed or extended position
- This allows the network device, such as a switch to either use its existing configuration data set, or reset and fetch and obtain a new configuration data set (āconfigā) at any point or time.
- config new configuration data set
- computer program software commands may be used to alter the state of a stored flag, token, data item, or other logic to affect the same function as the physical switch.
- a network administrator or other person or entity available that may be able to understand and make changes to the network device program or data stored within the network device either before the network device is sent to the installation site (pre-shipment boot mode setting) or at the installation site (pre-installation boot mode setting)
- that person can utilize a command line interface (CLI) to set the network device into the automated configuration request mode (e.g., āconfigure meā or ādrop-shipā mode versus a retain existing configuration mode) so that the need to press a button during the power-on and automatic boot procedure is removed and it is only necessary to connect a network connection (such as for example an Ethernet cable) and apply electrical power, and otherwise the auto-configuration is completely automated and touchless.
- CLI command line interface
- the network device such as in a processor, ASIC, or other logic of the network device
- this means that when the autoconfig āenableā is set before shipping a replacement network device to a remote location where no or minimal technical support is available, it is only necessary to substitute the replacement unit for the failed unit, including unplugging and replugging a simple Ethernet cable and power cable.
- the person performing th e replacement need have no technical knowledge or idea of what is happening. It is essentially as simple as plugging in a standard telephone handset.
- this autoconfig setting is disabled so that the next time it boots it need not go out and request its configuration again.
- this autoconfig is set to enable, it holds this setting until changed or reset so that the device will request its configuration each time it boots. This approach is not preferred as it would unnecessarily increase the burden on the network and the server.
- a computer program and computer program product can include a program module having instructions and optional data and/or parameters for execution in a processing logic to carry out the inventive methods and procedures described herein.
- the methods described herein and illustrated for example in FIG. 2 , FIG. 4 , and FIG. 5 may be performed as software executing within a processor or processing logic of the network device (device side procedure), with a processor or processing logic of the management side such as by a management side server computer (management side procedure), or by a combination of both of these.
- a variety of types of processors, microprocessors, ASICs, and associated or coupled memory may be utilized in the management side server and network device to accomplish the required processing tasks.
- the protocol used for the communications between the network device and the management side server is an XML-based protocol over http.
- the inventive scheme may also or alternatively be used with different language or protocol, such as for example, but not limited to a SNMP, CMET or any other protocol and need not be performed with or limited to XML.
- FIG. 6 depicts an example of a system 600 having partially autonomous local network devices associated with wide-area WLAN policy.

- the WAN 606 can include by way of example but not limitation the Internet.
- the term āInternetā as used in this paper refers to a network of networks which uses certain protocols, such as the TCP/IP protocol, and possibly other protocols such as the hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) for hypertext markup language (HTML) documents that make up the World Wide Web (the web).
- HTTP hypertext transfer protocol

- the WLAN management engine 602 can manage one or more of the network devices on the second network 608 .
- the network devices on the second network 608 can be referred to as āpartially autonomousā if the WLAN management engine 602 gives some autonomy to the network devices to operate without, e.g., authenticating at the WLAN management engine 602 .
- the AP controller 610 can include a wireless switch and āintelligenceā for the AP 612 . It is possible to include little or none of the functionality of the AP controller 610 in the AP 612 ; in such an implementation, the AP can be referred to as a ādumb AP.ā It is possible to include some or all of the intelligence of the AP controller 610 in the AP 612 ; in such an implementation, the AP can be referred to as a āsmart AP.ā For APs that have all of the intelligence of the controller, it is not necessary to have a controller. Thus, the AP controller 610 could be considered āpart ofā the AP 612 in some cases. Some APs are āsmarterā than others, depending upon the amount of functionality that could be put in a controller is put into the AP.
- the AP controller 610 (and other network components, such as the AP 612 , if applicable) is physically placed at a site associated with the second network 608 .
- physically placed what is meant is the second network 608 and the AP controller 610 are on a different side of the WAN 606 than the first network 604 and the WLAN management engine 602 .
- the AP controller 610 (and other network components, such as the AP 612 , if applicable) is initially unconfigured when physically placed at the site associated with the second network 608 . Electrical operating power is applied to the network devices to initiate execution of a computer program sequence, the computer program sequence generating a message that includes a network device identification information and a request that a configuration data set for the network device be sent from the WLAN management engine 602 to the network device over the WAN.
- the AP controller 610 (and other network components, such as the AP 612 , if applicable) can have a unique identifier that is encoded or otherwise represented by an electronic signature or digital data.
- the WLAN management engine 602 When the WLAN management engine 602 receives a request with the unique identifier, the WLAN management engine 602 provides configuration data appropriate for the identified network device across the WAN 606 .
- the WLAN management engine 602 once configured in this manner, traffic from the AP 612 to the second network 608 accessing network resources of the second network 608 need not utilize the WAN 606 .
- the second network 608 can include a plurality of wireless transmit and/or receive nodes.
- One such node will be referred to as the AP 612 in this paper, though it should be recognized that terminology will vary depending upon the technology and/or implementation.
- the term āAPā is typically not used.
- IEEE Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers 802.11 standard
- terms that are typically used in the 802.11 standard will be preferentially used in this paper when discussing wireless technology. It should be understood that different terminology may be used when referring to other wireless technology.
- a station may be referred to as a device with a media access control (MAC) address and a physical layer (PHY) interface to the wireless medium that comply with the IEEE 802.11 standard. Since APs that comply with the 802.11 standard have these characteristics, an AP can normally be referred to as a station.
- MAC media access control
- PHY physical layer
- a station can comply with any wireless standard or none at all, and may have any known or convenient interface to a wireless or other medium, though depending upon the standard, a station may be referred to as something other than a āstation,ā and may have different interfaces to a wireless or other medium. Exhaustively listing every implementation of a station is difficult, but some examples include a laptop, a wireless telephone, portable digital assistant (PDA), a desktop computer, or any other applicable computing device capable of communication on a wireless network.
- PDA portable digital assistant
- an AP includes a hardware unit that acts as a communication hub by linking wireless mobile stations to a wired backbone network. This can, for example, enable APs to connect users to other users within the network and/or to serve as the point of interconnection between a wireless local area network (WLAN) and a fixed wire network.
- WLAN wireless local area network
- the number of APs that are desirable for a given implementation can depend upon the desired size of a wireless domain. For example, it may be desirable to locate the APs such that they cover the entire area/space of a wireless domain.
- the number of APs that are desirable for a given implementation can also depend upon whether data from the APs is used to get a snapshot of where stations, or a subset of the stations, are located within the wireless network; generally, the more APs, the better, though at some point there is likely to be diminishing returns.
- An implementation of an AP includes a TRAPEZE NETWORKSĀ® MOBILITY POINTĀ® (MPĀ®) AP.
- An implementation of a wireless domain provided by way of example but not limitation, includes a TRAPEZE NETWORKSĀ® SMART MOBILEĀ® (TRAPEZE SMART MOBILEĀ®) wireless domain.
- an AP can typically transmit and receive data (and may therefore be referred to as a transceiver) using one or more radio transmitters.
- an AP can have two associated radios, one which is configured for 5 GHz transmissions, and the other which is configured for 2.4 GHz transmissions. (Other bands are acceptable, too.)
- APs transmit and receive information as radio frequency (RF) signals to and from a wireless station over an Ethernet connection.
- RFs radio frequency
- APs can transmit and receive information to and from their associated wireless exchange switches. Connection to a second wireless exchange switch provides redundancy.
- An implementation of a wireless exchange switch provided by way of example but not limitation, includes a TRAPEZE NETWORKSĀ® MOBILITY EXCHANGEĀ® (MXĀ®) switch.
- the network services engine 614 can provide network services to authorized stations that are coupled to the second network 608 .
- the WLAN management engine 602 is on a first side of the WAN 606
- the network services engine 614 is on a second side of the WAN 606 , the same side as the AP controller 610 and the AP 612 .
- This distinction is relevant because, in an implementation, network devices such as the AP controller 610 are configured by the WLAN management engine 602 in accordance with a wide-area (or āglobalā) WLAN management system, but local network devices are at least partially autonomous after being configured. So traffic from the AP 612 to the second network 608 accessing network resources of the network services engine 614 do not utilize the WAN 606 .
- a station 616 accesses network resources of the network services engine 614 through the AP 612 .
- FIG. 7 depicts a flowchart 700 of an example of a method for deployment of partially autonomous network devices.
- the flowchart 700 starts at module 702 with providing network resources attached to a second network, which is attached to a first network through a WAN, for use at a site associated with the second network.
- the network resources may be provided by, for example, a network services engine.
- the flowchart 700 continues to module 704 with physically placing an unconfigured network device at a site associated with the second network, wherein the network device includes a unique identifier.
- the flowchart 700 continues to module 706 with applying operating power to generate a message including the unique identifier and a request that a configuration data set be sent to the network device over the WAN.
- modules 706 and 708 facilitate wide-area WLAN policy at a WLAN management engine coupled to the first network.
- the network device can configure itself in accordance with wide-area WLAN policy. It can then operate at least partially autonomously with respect to the WLAN management engine.
- the flowchart 700 ends at module 710 with locally switching traffic from an AP to the second network accessing the network resources without utilizing the WAN.
- locally what is meant is that the traffic is switched on the second network; there is no need to send traffic up to the WLAN management engine through the WAN.
